Servings 1 Pizza Dough
Ingredients
- 260 grams bread flour
- 164 grams warm water
- 5 grams fine sea salt
- 2 grams instant yeast
- 3 grams sugar
- 7 grams olive oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm water, instant yeast, and sugar. Stir until the yeast has dissolved, then let the mixture sit for 5 minutes.
- Add the bread flour and stir until a shaggy dough forms. Add the salt and olive oil, then knead the dough by hand for 8–10 minutes, or until it becomes smooth, elastic, and only slightly tacky.
- Lightly oil a bowl and place the dough inside. Cover and let it rise in a warm place for 1–2 hours, or until doubled in size.
- Transfer the dough to a lightly floured work surface. Fold the edges toward the center several times to create surface tension, then roll it into a smooth, tight ball.Place the dough into a lightly oiled dough container or bowl, cover, and let it rest for 30–60 minutes.
Notes
These ingredients make one 12-inch thick-crust pizza dough. If you're making pizza for a crowd, simply multiply the ingredients by the number of dough balls you need.
